Winner by KO!

so are those breast some kind of secret weapon that we can unlock by instaling the game or what? those "mature" fighters are getting ridiculous is there any fighting games that doesn't have chick with giant gazongas/hoohas/rack etc. that looks more scary than disturbing? what with those developers that they have to make girls that makes Maxi Mounds look like some flat chested teenage girl? it's getting insane these days.

And by the way, those pics you posted are far too overused to be funny anymore. You should have used something with less internet exposure, like this one:

 

 

Most of the people I'm usually insulting aren't worth that level of effort.

Awsome so its down from 8gb to 4 GB =/

I honestly dont see why the game needs any install at all, its a fighter.

 

Blu Ray drive too slow??

Like you said, its a fighter, so why would it need an install unless the Blu Ray drive has some technical flaw that we don't know about.

lot's of games don't require install and they run and look awesome like uncharted,burnout paradise,etc...

 

so your argument is flawed,,,some of the devs are up to speed and some still are not.

 

Blu ray just like any new technology (DVD in 97-99)  has a learning curve.

While you may be right that Bluray may be new and you sure are right in saying that the way games are being coded has everything to do with how big the install file is... everyone should know by now that the bluray drive in the ps3 is over 2X slower than the DVD DL drive in the 360 when it comes to reading data. So you're technically both right.

 

Blu-ray:

1× at 36 Mbit/s

2× at 72 Mbit/s *this the one that ps3 uses
4× at 144 Mbit/s
6× at 216 Mbit/s[1]
12× at 432 Mbit/s

Xbox 360 are equipped with a 12x DVD drive, capable of a maximum read rate of 15.85 MB/s

source wikipedia.

show what you can see the ps3 is actually disk drive faster than the 360s by 4.5 times.

lol. I appreciate your effort in researching this but please notice the difference between MB and Mb. One stand for Mega Byte other is Mega Bit. 1 Mega Byte has 8 Mega Bits.

So according to your info there...

xbox dvd drive is 15.85MB x 8 = 126.8 Mbit

PS3 = 72 Mbit

And considering that most Xbox drives these days are 16X not 12X (it was 12X at launch)...taa daa... over 2X faster than PS3.

I see thanks, but that may not be a good thing because the faster the spinning the more scratches the disk gets and sometimes it may not read all of the data.

@a12331

Thats unfortunately true. Happened to me once...but its my fault for moving the system.

Ah well, you win some you lose some.

Ivy's chest alone would take up 2-3 GB I presume, so installs are in order it seems.
Oh, and at disolitude and a 12331; see the Mythbusters attempt at spinning a CD @ 40-75.000 rpm! BANG! You'll likely find it on Youtube.
